Topic: body temperature (Read 407 times)

I have recently gotten into a bad habit of taking my temp even when k don't feel bad. On a daily basis it flucutes from about 98.4 f to 99.4 f is this normal for the body. Its been this way for almost a year. I don't take my temp every day but it comes in cycles where I will take it every day then stop. What is normal for body temp. And what is a low grade fever?

Everyone has a different base temperature. Mine for instance is the same as yours 98.4-99.4. Its not unheard of for the body temp to be 96-97 though. A low grade fever, in my opinion is a temp that remains 99.9-100 for at least a day.

This was from a previese Google bendge that I read about low grade fever I rarely ever Google but I do need to stop checking all the time. Its just they list low grade fever and never say what that means its so vague it fits right into an anxiety symptom you can create worry about.

The AVERAGE is 98.6 that means people normally are above or below that. In addition, if you're female, your body temperature is higher the second half of your cycle. You will see a shift of .4 - .5 degrees on average.
